New Server: Welcome to the New (less expensive) Server! Find any problems? Report them here.

Great little game! The jumping mechanic is really smooth and gives you good control. The main character is nicely done and suits the rest of the game. Good music. The timer makes some of the levels hard but not too bad. I like having the melee and arrow attacks.

The JAR works fine on Linux too, just so you know. One of my biggest pet peeves in platformers is when the character stops moving horizontally while in the air if the keys are let go, but once I got over that, I enjoyed it! The controls, specifically pressing space to jump and e to glide, was kind of weird ergonomically. Good work though!

Somehow I can't get used to it.. Bounding boxes of objects (maybe just of hero?) are just too big and they prevent smooth moving imho. Maybe adding some speed would make some job too.. But I liked the music :-)

I was stuck in lvl 2 because of this jump where my head hit a platform. There's a weird bug letting you fire multiple arrows without cooldown and sometime I get stuck on loading black screen of the level 1B When I restart.

For controls you could have get rid of this E key by just letting the player hold jump (spacebar) while jumping to slow down.

I wish I could reach other levels to fight ennemies, dont know why I can't pass this level 1B, maybe I miss something.

Use of the theme as a punishment without a payoff, reward or sense of accomplishment doesn't feel like a strong tie. The platforming itself is solid, though the game froze at the end of the third level.

This is pretty good, but some things about it I really didn't like. The floating mechanic was just bizarre, and the jump that shows you to press the 'e' key doesn't even require you to use float, so I didn't even figure out at that point that it did anything. Would have been much nicer to make holding space be the float.

The theme being tacked on as "only get one minute" was really weak, honestly it makes the game punishing and you'd have had a better game without it.

Still, controls aside from 'e' were solid, and the art style was light and cartoony so nice job there.

Fun game. Character moves a little slow but the design is nice and clean. I like being able to slow down your descent. Great work!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.

NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.

MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
